Gloss may wear off Republicans’ ‘lipstick-on-a-pitbull’ convention moment

[DogPoundPup]

John McCain’s speech was thin gruel after the raw red meat of his running-mate, and the party may yet run out of impetus.

On Wednesday evening, as Sarah Palin was preparing to take the stage at the Republican convention, a knot of teenagers was standing on a footbridge over the highway leading into MinneapolisSt Paul with a homemade sign that read: “Obama ’08”.

Had they nothing better to do? “It’s the first time that I’ve felt like this,” explained Ligeia Baumhofer. “Barack Obama has got us excited about politics.” A policeman told them to move their sign inside the railings and advised them to leave but they stayed to wave at car drivers honking support.

<snip>
John McCain even had nice words for Mr Obama, the target of Mrs Palin’s sharpest arrows on Wednesday, saying “much more unites us than divides us” and that the Democrat bidding to be America’s first black President had “my respect and admiration”.

But it was a clunky, double-decker of a speech. Here was Mr McCain arguing he was more experienced and ready to heal “partisan rancour” – when he had, by necessity, chosen a stridently right-wing running-mate with a record of just 18 months in state-wide office.

Good 'outside the U.S. msm' unbiased view of the RNC.

1. Lipstick on a Moose from Sarah sucking the last breath from its dying lungs. n/t

[melody]

3. Well said lol n/t

[LiberalFighter]

19. Does she kiss each moose that she dresses?

[victoryparty]

23. She'll wear thin, and soon

I can understand the Fundamentalist Evangelicals going ga-ga over her (she is, after all, one of their own). But what about the rest of the GOP? They mock Obama as "The One," but what does that make Palin? The Two?

35. More like #2 -- she stinks

[bjobotts]

41. Comparing herself to an ugly mean bitch or a gay old dog? How dumb.

[CJCRANE]

2. She overdid it with the lipstick

and the snark IMO.

On edit: and she had the hint of a snarl, just like Cheney!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

31. She is a light weight propped up by the far right

[Heather MC]

32. does this mean we can now call her a female dog?

[peaches2003]

33. She curls her upper lip just like Cheney

[kurth_]

4. Female pit bull with lipstick is a bitch

in fact, she's a bitch with or without lipstick.

[krabigirl]

5. Yep. Who would compare themself to a dog, anyway?

[meow2u3]

16. Yo, Sarah! If you want to compare yourself to a dog

Be prepared to be called a bitch. Only the four-legged pit bulls are so much nicer.

[happygoluckytoyou]

6. PITBULL VS SOCCER MOM =====> here is MY list

as NFL Player MICHAEL VICK will attest to ..... THE ODDS WILL BE ON THE PITBULL.....

however there is a need for some more detailed comparison-------->

1) a pitbull with not international knowledge has the good sense NOT to run for Vice President
2) a pitbull understands that it IS a bitch
3) if you have sex with one of them, and you still have your BALLS, it was a pitbull
4) pitbulls don't get on John THE BUSH REPUBLICAN McCain's MILF list
5) pitbull wouldn't make sense being in a wet T-shirt contest with Cindy and Sarah
6) pitbull doesn't spread it's legs with husband's partner
7) pitbull teaches pups sex education at the kennel
8) pitbull does not believe that man coexisted with dinosaur
9) pitbull has babies in groups of 5 or.... oops.... nevermind
10) pitbull goes for the throat, soccer mom goes much lower

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO HELP ME WITH THIS LIST.... the Toilet Reader Version should hit the rolls soon

RIDDLE..... how many alaskan REPUBLICANS does it take to screw in a lightbulb ? ?
ANSWER..... sorry.... alaskan REPUBLICANS don't screw in lightbulbs... they screw in High School Hockey Locker Rooms, because they haven't attended any SEX EDUCATION classes......

[aquart]

13. She's a HOCKEY mom, not a soccer mom.

Soccer moms are great.

[meow2u3]

17. Pitbulls don't parade their puppies as props

for photo-ops.

[DBoon]

7. pitbulls are affectionate, loyal companions

A pitbull will treat you with respect, and will stand beside you no matter what. Pitbulls are known for their playful sense of humor and their undying enthusiasm.

Comparing this republican party with a pitbull is a serious offense to that noble breed of canine



Pitbulls are also strong supporters of the Democratic Party. see:

9. Thank you! It's rarely the dog, it's most often the owner who creates the nasty temperament.

But Sarah is nasty all by her little ol' self.

By the way, that dog is sooo much better looking than Sarah Snarl.

[bitchkitty]

21. Agree with you,

and so does my beagle, who is madly in love with Jewel, a fawn pit bull bitch at his kennel.

[bookman]

29. Pit Bulls

Just saw "Dogtown" featuring Vick dogs. Remarkable.

Catch it if you can.

[K8-EEE]

8. The only difference between GWB & Palin is lipstick.

Remember when they were touting GWB's "executive experience" and (with a straight face) calling him a "Washington outsider who will get things done" in 2000?

She's like a rerun of a bad movie.

[Myrina]

10. I tend to think she's the female equivalent of Jerry Falwell ...

:scared:

[krkaufman]

12. Yet how often have you heard any MSM news anchor or pundit highlight that fact?

(rhetorical, of course; the answer is ZERO)

[pipi_k]

15. And even then...

How do we know GWB doesn't wear lipstick and Laura's undies in private?


:smoke:

[sce56]

30. When he is beating it in a coffin in the tomb? n/t

[Bette Noir]

40. I disagree.

GW isn't nearly as racist, and he's a better parent.

Having now, for the first time in my life, said something nice about GW, I have to take a shower.

[krkaufman]

11. "outside the US msm" .... too funny!!!

I was reading the paragraphs you'd excerpted and was startled by their relation to observable reality. A quick check of the URL source cleared-up my confusion.

[Third Doctor]

14. how dare she

Compare herself with a noble pitbull. What has the pitbull community done to her?

[felinetta]

18. The veneer will come off of her

Sarah has only been around one week.  There is a lot more to
come out about her and I don't think she'll
hold up as angelic as her supporters thing she is right now. 

[LiberalSoWhat]

20. Pitbull with lipstick

Comparing herself to a pitbull was very offensive to pits, I know, my pitbull was very upset after it.

[Kool Kitty]

39. My pit bull granddaughter, Olive,

agrees with you wholeheartedly.

[LeftyMom]

22. Pit bulls are much more likeable.

At least they're generally altered and up to date on their shots.

[DogPoundPup]

25. Repukes think they have their so-called 'pitbull with lipstick' but we have Biden, a pit-bull

with substance.

[kskiska]

24. O'Really's body language expert checked her out

and said her facial expressions showed signs of arrogance and smugness.

[Dystopian]

26. I had to sleep with this pit bull.

And didn't hate myself in the morning.




peace~

[StClone]

27. Ignore the Dog in this "Dog and Pony show"

The Lip-stick-wearing Pit Bull is a loser. Let's go after the old war horse. Palin is a distraction and when her veneer flakes off the Republicans manipulators will be using a war, or lies to keep us from taking McCain apart.

[LiberalSoWhat]

36. You know this is a good point

McSame might have actually been trying to divert attention from himself and his own shortcomings in picking this person.

Did anyone else read the article on her "...so sambo beat the bitch..." comment? Why isnt this stuff being brought up? Forget how much or how little time was put into vetting her, they should hit her with this and see how she whines then.

[Miss Chybil]

37. It's like Paul Begala said today, "You always want to attack the organ grinder

not the monkey." Palin is a monkey.

[whistle]

28. The plastic mask is peeling off Sarah Palin already

[Turner Ashby]

34. I agree. The old war horse is the real target.

She is the yappy dog. (and she got the breed wrong)

[whistle]

42. Mods moved the post, I just caught up....Pit Bull? Sarah got it wrong?

...What was the breed supposed to be?

[lisainmilo]

38. I was just wondering.......

Where the hell is the BEEF ???!!!!???

No Economy! No Jobs! No end to the illegal war! No Solution for ???? Well you can fill in the _______________! The list goes on!


Alot of RAH RAH with no pom poms!

[comanche12]

43. sarah palin maligns pit bulls

They have a heart - and a big one at that.
